A pony race on Main st. on Tuesday
entertained the idle men and boys, and
the Potosi nag came out winner of the
stakes, 81.
Mr.. Carl, of Potosi, having purchased
land in the southwest part of the town
ship, has become resident of the village
until he can build house upon his
farm.
A delegation of the Masonic Lodge
attened the funeral of George Fennel on
Thursday.
Friday was a sort of Black Friday to
the laboring men of the village, as on
that day work was stopped on the Black
Jack mines by orders from the owners,
and saw run by horse power at the
upper end of the village, was just wear
ing out" an enormous woodpile, and
intensified the gloom. That is regarded
by the majority as an Infringement on
the rights and privileges of the hard
working men who are ready and willing
to give an honest days work for an
honest dollar. When there are SO many
drones in the society hive it does look
as if man willing to work should never
lack for remunerative employment.
AS to the hines referred to, they have
been run many years to the great bene-
| fit of the community, but fear not to
the profit of the enterprising owners. It
is to be hoped that they win find encour-
agement to resume operation.

travel over Porter's bridge on three diff

The presence of few early robins, and
the sight of the advance guard of ducks
and pigeons passing over reconciles us
to the present inconveninces attending
travelling.
At this writing we hear of much sick
ness throughout the town Mrs. VIM
Pridaux is very sick, and many others,
more or less seriousley i'll, mostly with
pneumonia and kindred diseases
Lawrence Bonham made trip to
Chicago last week, returning home on

Try Cayley, residing on the Brown

Chivalry Out West.

Scene-Strawberry festival; portly
merchant dancing quadrille with good
looking young lady. Enter Carson
river cowboy just as caller cries
Grand right and left" Cowboy
stands in and at end 81 change finds
himself standing with portly merchants
partner. Portly merchant unceremo-
niously crowds cowboy out of his place.
Cowboy stands back and deliberately
sizes up portly merchant. Comes to
the conclusion that portly merchant
would be too much for him at close
quarters. Cowboy throws his sombre-
TO on the floor bitches up his pants,
thrusts his right hand into the rear
pocket thereof. and i'm a loud voice thus
delivers himself: Partner, cerraled
that air heifer. She are e maverick.
leastwise you amt got no rope on her.
Now. just reckon I'll gallop with
her durin' the balance of this ere round
up. Light out, or I'll set my forty-five
a-barkin." Portly merchant concludes
that discretion is the better part of
valor, and sits down. Music starts up
and cowboy finishes the "Gallop" with
the ''heifer" Of his choice. - Dayton

Movable Targets.

There is a good deal of talk of rifle
shooting at movable targets these days.
Most people imagine that in order to
hit anything with a rifle, a man must
have a solid rest and take n long aim.
Such is not the fact The best rifle
shots at game seldom take rest ex-
cept at long distances. After a little
practice it is as easy to hit slowly
moving object with a rifle as a still
one. The secret of all shooting is TO
get your gun in the right place and
then let her 90 in flash. 1t is quite as
easy to kill running rabbit with a
rifle as with a shotgun. but so few peo-
have tried IL that il Is not widely
known. -Lincola (Neb. Democrat.

The Place to See Life.

Edward Everett Hall told the stu
dents of Cornell that the best opportu-
nifty of studying human nature was to
be had by entering the profession of
tho schoolmaster. Mr.. Hale is a keen
observer, but his judgment is not en-
tirely sound in this matter. The ideal
opportunity for studying human nature
in an almost infinite variety of phases
and under almost every conceivable
circumstance is enjoyed by reporter
for a metropolitan journal. There is
no other way Of seeing life" and
learning to know men that compares
with this. -NeW York Tribune.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1887-07-11

education would keep them at hom'
and train them for public careers in the
United States the results would be ar
advantage to the country. There Is
rything in public life with us to
satisfy the most honorable ambition.
and the reason our politics is not better
than II Is is because so many of our rich
people sniff contemptuously whenever
the word is mentioned, and set their
faces towards Europe, where politics
is the very breath of life of the most
cultivated societies"
This same ex-diplomatc said another
marked peculiarly of the people in the
United States was to send their insane
people abroad. He said: you would
be astonishcd to find how many insane
people are shipped over to Europe by
their relatives, simply to get rid Of
them. OF course, mean cases where
the insanity is not so marked as to at
tract immediate notice." g.
With this suggestion which l have
Just quoted in view. called ut the
United States legation yesterday and
asked them about tho correctness of
this declaration. They said at the lega-
ton that it was true. There was hard
ly ship which came to England which
did not bring some insane person from
the United States. They have had calls
upon their attention with regard to in
sane people within week. They come
to the legation and ask for all sorts of
impossible things. Then the English
authorities are constantly making
appeals to the legation to take charge
of these people. But the legation has
no authority over the matter any more
than any visiting American. The lega-
ton is constantly harassed by this class
of people, and by another which ap-
peals from its ao.ans to be worthy OF
being classed Will the insane. These
are the people who come to Europe
with just enough money to bring them
over hcrs, who are confident that they
will find some way Of making q living
when they get here and pick up enough
money to carry them back. There is
not one in thousand of this class who
can find anything to do The result is
that they become penniless within a
few weeks after their arrival, and then
besiege the legation for money to 90
home. The most that the minister can
ever do for them is to cable to their
friends, if they have any. These cases
do not deserve sympathy, as in nearly
every instance the sufferers have
brought their own troubles upon them
by their foolish visionary ideas of the
possibilities of European life. j had
only the other day a young slip OF a
boy call on me. He was from Wash
ington, and wanted to know If he could
get work in any London newspaper
office, so that he could stay here year.
l asked him If he had ever written for
any newspaper. He said that he had
never written line for one. He was
perfectly confident however, that If he
had the right kind of an introduction
J could get on to some of the great
london dailies. l could not convince
him that they were not willing to take
on American apprentices.
